Spec Ops is not an immense turd. It's a mediocre cover shooter with an interesting narrative. Not a bad deal for $7.50, though it routinely drops to $5 or less. GMG was even giving it away for free at one point.

It's not my sort of game (over-the-shoulder shooter, puke), but a lot of people actually seem to like Spec Ops for the moral ambiguity is contributes to the modern military shoots. Zero Punctuation had a good review.
